pissdrunkwhat?! Posted November 12, 2002 Share Posted November 12, 2002 that last one is simple and what you should be doing now, just do VERY simple block letters like this font lol and once you get those down to where they look good (for what they are simple block letters) add a little style to em, bend em a bit add spikes or projections but whatever you do it should flow good together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your not taki, nor will you ever be. Your not stay high, and you shouldnt ever compare yourself to them. People are trying to give you some fucking tips on how to get better and you're bitching about how someone else started out this way and all this other stupid shit. They're giving you their advice and experience on how they got better. Maybe if you shut your fucking mouth you could learn something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gimpos Posted November 13, 2002 Share Posted November 13, 2002 yo man cant you fucking read? did i ever compare myself to taki or stay high? blocks are where yo ustart PERIOD i just pointed out that you dont have to start out writing blocks and taki etc. were good examples... peace tears you digging the shit.

Guest imported_El Mamerro Posted November 14, 2002 Share Posted November 14, 2002 Simple, shmimple... true, it's the best and certainly the most effective way to learn, but if it's boring for you, then don't do it. Your boredom and unwillingness will show through the piece. However, your last simple attempts are looking very good, so keep it up. The best advice anyone gave you is to look at shit you absolutely love, and find out what about it drives you nuts. When a letter or a form has good proportions, and the lines flow and relate to each other the way they should, something just "feels" right. It's up to you to find out in your own drawings what it is that makes it feel incomplete... a good example is your first block sketch: http://www.design-eye.co.uk/camo2.jpg'> Look at the S at the end. None of those lines, with the exception of the vertical lines on the bottom half, relate to each other. There's something about the angling and the sizes of the spaces they contain that just doesn't make full sense. The top line of the S and the bottom line completely contradict each other in terms of angles... and contradictions are fine, as long as you can wield them and use them to your advantage, but that wasn't the case here. After all your lines and spaces make sense in a single letter, you gotta make multiple letters make sense with each other, which is a lot trickier. And the reason people suggest practicing simples is because working out these line/space/letter relationships in simples is a breeze, and you will get the gist of what it is you gotta do when you go complex. So yeah, I agree with you... everyone in here thinks saying "stick to simples" is great advice, when it really isn't. Explain why, at the very least, or just refrain from saying shit. If it's any comfort, I don't think I have ever done a single simple in my life, as a matter of fact, I don't even do letters very much, but I can still hold my own cause I learned about line and proportions elsewhere. Good luck. Beer, El Mamerro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
